Thanks for the info Jared. Hopefully Inquisition and Who Can Kill A Child will be top sellers for MM. Both are certainly much desired, particularly the former simply because it has never had a decent home video release. These 2 upcoming titles have heightened my awareness of the label for me. I just bought Symptons from Diabolik

That's awesome, Cine74! Thanks! I think you'll find we have quite a few treasures in our catalog.

If you're in for INQUISITION and WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? you should definitely be on the look out for Naschy's EL CAMINANTE (which are probably going to call THE DEVIL INCARNATE), the Spanish giallo THE FOX WITH A VELVET TAIL, and the 70s lesbian vampire classic THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE, all coming to blu within the next half year.

Just heard about the commentary for INQUISITION and am very happy this is being commissioned.
I'll wait and let you disseminate the info when your are ready.

Looks like 2017 is really going to be a great one for MM.

Just placed a huge order at your Big Cartel to fill in what I have missing. Minus DVDs for Gradiva and Lifespan, and the limited editions of The Fan and Suddenly in the Dark (regular versions are fine for these) I should now have a complete MM collection (including the UK releases). Pretty much my favorite label.

Gotta correct the good folds at Mondo Digital there
The Korean Film Archive did no such restoration, but they did transfer the element they had. Quite a bit of work was done on it after the fact, especially to address stability problems.

My blu purchases are being cut down significantly this year but this is at the absolute top of my list.

Any chance of upgrading the Diabolical Dr. Z?

Maybe. I'll just say it's possible, but if it happens it won't happen until 2018.

Awesome. Any chance you can follow up Lizard in a Woman's Skin with Don't Torture a Duckling?

Well, I just read Bill from Code Red say something about some other label getting to it before he could. I can confirm that label is not Mondo Macabro.

I wish it was. I think it's one of Fulci's best and and one of my fave gialli in general. We thought about it doing but Pete scrapped the idea, probably because the licensor wanted too much money.

Ahh okay thanks. I read that too and was hoping it was you guys cause you had mentioned in the past that you had more gialli on the way. Really excited to pick up Blood Spattered Bride!

[babybreese]

So am I ( you know BSB is not gialli ? ).
The Artus DVD looks very nice to I expect good things from MM's Blu.

Our Blu-ray will be from a brand new 4K scan!

I know I was just expressing my excitement for future titles.

Martino gialli are sorely lacking on blu. All the Colors of the Dark, The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, The Case of th Scorpion's Tail...

Any update on the Chinese films you guys were looking into?

Not really. Our slate for this year is already overflowing, so that's been put off until 2018. If it happens at all.

What are the chances of Lewd Lizard seeing some sort of release? Seems like it would be a good fit for Mondo Macabro.

Yeah, we love that movie. These Hong Kong films from the 70s and 80s can be very difficult to track down rights or materials for however, so it is unlikely.
